Exercises For A Lacrosse Player

Hey,

Here I am again.

carnival is over. We have the partying. So I now have time to get back to writing reports.

I remember about every city in which I was to write a report. So there is every few days to give a new report.

What is it you know already, but again in summary:

80 Bussreiser exchange student have done for 27 days. It went up from Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza, the northeast coast of Brazil. - And I was there!

Jan 05 in Rio Preto on Bus station shortly before departure

I had to go almost at once terrified of the journey. Why? I was afraid to stand as an outsider. All exchange students from my town knew each other well and I had previously had very little contact with them, partly because I was the only one in the afternoon lessons. When I arrived in Brazil, it was been so easy to find friends, but with the exchange student I had little contact. And then when I did something with them, I had the feeling of being aussenvor because already all knew so well.

Jan 06 morning Belo Horizonte

- "Who are you? Where are you from? Where do you live here in Brazil "-

My fear was now blown away on what. In Belo Horizon, we took the Buss this trip. On the trip to Rio de Janeiro I met so many people know, whose names I had forgotten in the next moment. But since no one can remember 40 or 80 names on einemal, makes nothing at all.

It's a nice feeling to take to 40 exchange students and all are curious about the other and look forward to the upcoming joint tour.

06th evening to 10 Jannuary

Rio de Janeiro

Our hotel was right on the famous Coca Cabana, directly on the beach. But in the first three of four days we spent in Rio de Janeiro, we did not have the chance to put one foot on the beach in front of us. We had a full program every day and at night they did not let us to the beach - too dangerous. But the view is of course great.

I liked the city tour of Rio de Janeiro good, especially because of the ancient houses of the historic center. I have been missing from Luebeck, because in my city Rio Preto, there is not this one.

I'm hochgegondelt course also the famous Sugar Loaf. It was unfortunately a bit cloudy, but the view in Rio de Janeiro was incredibly beautiful. On photos you can capture those moments even more difficult.




on the Sugar Loaf in the background right, the cables of the cable.

The next day we visited the Christ statue from the mountain Corcovada (about 600 m altitude) from their arms over Rio austr real.

The Christ statue is 32m + 8m high base and was opened 1931st

We drove the Corcovada up with a web, which lasted 15-20 min. But time passed quickly, because it went with a 3-man Samba group. Which provided a mood. They have played control various Samba, sung to and danced with some of our group in the narrow passage.

top we had an equally wonderful views of Rio as from the Sugar Loaf, only this time from a different angle.

Since the platform relative to the size of the statue is small, the photographer has had to lay on the floor on his back to the person who is photographed with the statue to get the picture.

If we had temporarily put on the floor, then we stayed there for a while - "Where are you now lie there already, you can also quickly make me a photo?", "Me too" ...

You had to watch up there already that one on it does not.

Later in the afternoon we drove to Sambodrium. In Sambodrium find the parades of the samba schools. It is an elongated stadium for Samba. If it the carnival of Rio de Janeiro in seeing Fehr see, then you can see the samba schools in the Sambodromo.

When Sambodromo could borrow costumes to take pictures. I borrowed some other costumes and then we danced in the Sambodromo, took pictures and filmed were we.

Megan (South Africa) and I, with costumes in the Sambodromo

We were also in Samba town. This is a plot that makes the city the samba schools', to build cars for the annual parade. Man fragrances of there to take pictures because the car has a surprise for his parade to the samba schools and are in competition.

In Samba town, I've learned a lot about the samba schools and parades. If you look at the big car look one is thinking, "How to finance the whole thing"

- First of all donations and sponsors, then the state and the city and there are many tourists in the parade of the individual Samba schools run along and pay for it, or buy their costumes from the samba school. And of course there for the school that wins a prize. All in all, the major samba schools about 10-15 mil. Reais, say about 3, from 5 to 5.5 mil. Euro per year.

If you look at the floats, we can ie d volunteers who build the car, only be described as true artists. Many people who live and work there in Falvelas (residential areas from slums).
I hope that I will go with one day in one of the samba parade in Rio.

group photo in Samba town on a trolley from the parade last year. I'm finding far left, with hat.






Here you can see what happens to the floats for Mardi Gras! There was a very nice car, the Krokodiel is not against them. Because it hurts one's soul when one remembers that they will be thrown away afterwards. Only the frame remains. After all, you can look forward to even more beautiful car of the next year!

Later we had in Rio a Samba dance lesson in one of the samba schools. This has a huge lot of fun. Imagine about 80 exchange students in a large classroom space in front, trying to dance the samba.

With so many sweating bodies was counterclaims not the air conditioning.

came Triefnassgeschwitzt sambatanzend but happy after we dance lessons at the hotel.

Here we visited the Maracana Soccer Stadium. We looked at the Umkleidekabienen the players I had imagined frankly more comfortable. But the 2010 World Cup should they be renovated.

on the famous beach of Ipanema, we were of course too. The beach was very crowded.

In the picture from left to right: Sofia (Mexico), I, Anrea (Mexico) and Rafael (Venezuela). In the foreground Will (USA) and Lilia (Mexico).

That's enough of Rio de Janeiro.

The next time I will talk about Porto Seguro

family change

Hello,




This is my new host family. Although not so new again. I live here for three weeks and I seem much longer, as I have done much before Christmas.

Joao Vitor (19), Vera I, Luiz. In the photo is missing the youngest son of Luiz Amadeus (16) since it is the time in the U.S. on an exchange. Lucky for me, because I now have his own room, P

None of us wanted four exchange students in the Rotary Club to change the family. And of course, not just before Christmas.

I liked and like my first family very much. I spent four incredible months in this family as the daughter . My host mother I call "Mama" or "mama" and my host father "Papa" or "Papai". Even now, when I moved out. Of course it seems strange to you that I call my parents as a guest. What do you think - I also found it super funny my host mother to call it that, where I hardly knew her. I knew just one hour and they have said to me: "You can so call us as you like, first name or Mama and Papa"

The words mom and dad are like privileges that only their own parents. We call only his mother Mama!

But over time I started my host parents, but to call it that, because they wanted to treat me like their daughter. And with time and with For the loving care she gives to me is the closeness and the only strange word "Mama" is a habit.

Back to the family change. Now you feel already so good in the one family and a family one may well seem so much and would also like to know that we would remain in their home, then why change? Just because Rotary has established the rule that one more, would undergo eingentlich three families?

Well, this rule was not created out Nonsinns. Our families and Council, as it were, our exchange Parten, have a lot of us exchange students talked about the family changes. Thus, the We go through three families, our exchange will only get richer, kompelxer and interesting. Because you learn to know three different families, different habits and may have different views of what they have to show us absolutely. Now I have two families who want to show me their country and explain. In addition, you learn even more and more people know and after the exchange has not only one but three families, which receive a like back when you return later to Brazil. It's really great to see what patterns for different families. For example, my new host mother Vera has taken me to the market (my first host mother never went to the weekly market). And it was super nice for me there. Sounds boring, but it is not: Every other state I'm seeing and I have been asked: What is it? In such places one can see the life, I think. But it must now be not that you go along each time in such places. Getting to know enough sometimes;)

In any case, it is worth the families go to, even if difficult to leave. But with a family one does not change adopted by the previous family. It then has two or three families. Tania and Elcio, my first Brazilian host family, have said to me: "This is now your home, your home. If you want to come, you come. If you ever want to return to sleep here, you come over. "So it is, one gains knowledge, to families at home. But of course the family in which one is just the first priority.

I was not as sad as I have replaced the family. Although I love my family first but I knew my new host mother has been my third day in Brazil and saw her every week since then. Because it is a Rotarianerin my Rotary Club and I go every week to the Rotary meeting. And since she knew I would come to her house, she always told me how much she is pleased to finally have a daughter. She has two boys namely, the 16 and 19 year old, and they had three Austasuchschueler also received three guys.

So I was both sad to leave my first family, including I've been looking forward to be Vera's daughter.

Now I feel super good here in my new family. I can not say which family I like better, because they are simply different. may

It is the same as when people ask me which country I love: Germany or Brazil. It is eifach different.

I really like my two Brazilian families. Here in my new host family I now have my onw room since the younger son is on exchange in the U.S.. And what I just super great find is that every bedroom has its own bathroom. Yes that's super cool, I got my with private bathrooms. This idea later time I will incorporate into my own house.

OK, now you fall like starting at the ears, as much as I have told and eyes from. Dess Because I do at this point, closing times and pick me further for next time.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas.

I wish you all a happy new year 2008, health and joy, vinous stress, but a bit - otherwise it will be boring, serenity, success and love.

Greetings from the summer (offieziell for seven days),

your Sünne.
